ICAO moves slowly, but I suspect we'll see a worldwide ban sooner rather than later.

No, not really. Especially for another $10k.

We're probably going to sell our caravan (Centaur Karavane), and once that goes no need for a tow car. So, that means that the Range Rover Sport will be downsized. The boss's current thinking is a new Golf GTI.

I don't know that trying to push it down would have had much effect. They really needed the spoilers (or speedbrakes) to destroy the lift. And even then, what's the braking coefficient of an engine nacelle, vs wheels and brakes. Not terribly good...

It's intentional. They're simply better than you, and therefore do not have to take you into consideration at all. 1754471401 I've found that joining in on their conversation, irrespective of the language, seems to hit their privacy switch, and they suddenly stick the phone to their ear.

I think you'll find that it varies with the sector.

Very sadly, that appears to be the case.

Nothing in a hotel. Fatties.

Sadly the corporate world will always fob you off. If you're concerned about something, make it a report to CASA. You almost certainly won't hear anything, but if the issue is real, you'll probably find the airline suddenly fixes it.

And this box is to be left behind in the event of an evacuation. Simply another log jam.... Not any Airbus. Actually, you can occasionally hear real barking dogs in the AB, if they're carried in the forward hold. They go to sleep after we take the air away.

Two sources that are not well regarded.

Not really uncommon. It would be rare for a 330 sized hangar to be sitting around. If it's there, it will already be in use. If the place they're going to doesn't have an engineer they've certified to oversee any work, they'll need to carry someone who can. Not uncommon. As for the engine, who...

True. Mover (YT) would like them put on a 5 year no fly list. Warnings would be pointless, as you need an outcome that is noticeable by others. 1753845844 No, then they’d just be standing in the aisle, trying to force the bins open. And they’d still be rummaging under the seats for their other...

The only thing of even vague importance is your passport. And guess what, they fit in pockets. Whilst I’d hazard a guess at Americans being the worst at this behaviour, I suspect we’re not far behind. Aircraft aborts. Comes to a halt, but then after about 30 seconds an evacuation is ordered...

They’re an airline accountants dream. I don’t think you come into the equation at all.

You need to be careful of the marketing here. Yes these aircraft can operate to a greater maximum differential pressure (I think the 380 is actually the winner in these stakes), but that does not mean they operate at 6,000’ vs 8.000’. The cabin altitude varies with the real altitude, and it will...

It’s possible, but with a bit of care, it shouldn’t. Looking at the pictures, it actually seems to be sitting on the left engine. And how often now have we seen people standing on the wing, in this case, more or less over the fire, and no slide available to them. But, they have their cabin luggage!

If you feel like scratching your head a bit, have a look at the FR24 trace for AA3023. They've ended up with an abort, and evacuation (and everyone has their luggage, as usual) but that's almost the most normal part of the trace.

They generally respond well to honesty. They have plenty who aren’t to target.

How much of it is even slightly attractive? Surely you need a decent business case for any tender to work. I’d expect a route or two would be cherry picked, and the rest left to languish.
